R.A himself had this to say about the track: _"I fucking obliterated this track, I had to, Razah asked me to get on a joint wit' him, Timbo and an icon like Tragedy Khadafi so I knew I had to come correct. To me Trag is one of the best that ever lived. Nas, Mobb Deep, Capone & Nore, and so much of the whole QB sound came from him, so when I got to the studio I just kinda blacked out. This here is an all time classic hip hop record, it don’t matter if it gets play or not, we don’t need radio, while the big corporations play their nursery rhyme shit, the underground heads keep the artform alive"_

*R.A. has one of the best verses in hip-hop history. I know everyone says Uncommon Valor but I say this one.*

Tragedy Khadafi is sooo underrated

HELL RAZER ONE OF THE HOTTEST MC IN THE WU UNIVERSEEEEEEE

everybody bodied this shit, not a weak bar in sight

'I'm Canibus before he met Wyclef'... so true, Canibus was on another level when he first started to come through on mix tapes.

R.A.'s flow if fucking impeccable. I honestly don't know how he raps the way he does, especially this verse. It's unreal. Nearly flawless.

wtf RA the rugged man,i thought his best verse was on uncommon valor, until i heard this, this is on a whole different level wow

R.A IS TOP 5..... ITS 2020 AND HES STILL DROPPIN 🔥

literally just discovered R.A, one of the greatest verses I have ever heard.

RA destroys every beat he's on.

Jeesus, this shit goes hard. never ever heard a lyrical rhyme like these foos

Tragedy Khadafi WOW. One of the best verses ever.

They all killed. I was really feeling Tragedy's verse though

This is true rap. No misogyny, no homophobia, no cars or bling. A true wake-up call for hip-hop, with a sick beat.

This is still one of my favorite albums of all time. Every track was legendary

Tragedy kills this!!!!!!!

This track is bonkers...I was reading some of the comments concerning RA and Pun; who influenced who, who's better, who's flow is iller; that's a personal choice; to each his own. What is not in dispute is that both Pun and RA are lyrical greats and both have said on the record that Kool G. Rap is their favorite emcee of all-time. Marinate on that one. One.

And THAT my people, is how you end a song. ♨️

RA in the back like whens my turn lol

Hell Razah has been one of my favorite MC's ever. Dude has been dope since day 1.

that beat is sick

Tragedy is super underrated 🔥

ra's verse is amazing

This song still fire 🔥

Lmao. Rug is wilding in the background, he's like let the lion out the cage.

damn, The verse from RA is almost unbelieveble, its realy hard to rap with out to breath

R.A. Murked that joint !! Classic Splash!!!

This is hiphop!

Could it really be that R.A. is the best rapper out there ? He`s just killin it on every song.

Hip-Hop history with sick raps. They all killed it!

Didn't you knew? The Rugged Man is a very, very, very skilled rapper... Prolly your favourites rapper favourite rapper ;)

RA got the weirdest mannerisms when he raps...but his verse is absolute fire

RA kills the song with his verse, plus he kills the video with...basically everything he does before, and during his turn :)

Damn R.A. murdered that shit.

Rugged man is tha man... and totally insane!!!

Another reason why I like Rugged Man is because he only does collabs with other dope spitters, people he respects for their rap skills.

Song is fiyah. Hell Razah flow so smooth and KILLA.

Heaven Razah, thank you. Ya gave me the eye of the tiger. Much love from Rhode Island.

RA killed everyone else's verse

A yo Rugged Man punched this track out of it's boots. Wow, RAW!

All time classic. R.A. is a true legend.

R.A. Salute!

"I'm canibus before he met wyclef" Real recognize real.

best verse in hip hop history. period.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Last photo of Pac before his Beamer got shot.

"im all good im hood, im ice cube before he turned soft and went hollywood" lol R.A. is a killer

Hip hop in its purest form. Should be lauded as a classic. we know real when we hear it. This is it.

“5 Percent Nation of God Bodies Greeting with PEACE!” 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

r.a. the rugged man is the only artist i will ever be a fan of. He is keeping it fucking real, period.

im poetic from gravediggaz thats enough

This song will forever be dope! But RA wildin in the background makes the video!

one o the best verses ever

those bars tragedy spit - "I'm the Queens, one man Supreme Team Triple beam dream, microphone cream fiend" gave me goosebumps man... real hip hop RA gave a good lesson in being an emcee too

Rugged too nice on this

dis'll never get old...classic material...PRICELESS...da billboard track4REAL STREET HOP ('88 style!)

How have these tracks not got millions of views minds these days are too small thanks for the upload would have forgot about this

Every rappers posse should keep a copy of this track around so they can let R.A. humble them when it becomes necessary.

Skilled multiple rhyme blaster!!! R.A. ripped it!!!

This shit is legendary.

nah man, theyve all got good verses

RA bugging out in the back lol

I've heard a lot of rappers do their thing, but I can clearly say that R.A. is the best that ever lived. Even BIG said that he though he(BIG) was good until he met R.A.
